Ingredients

• 12 whole Jalapeños
• 8 ounces Italian sausage
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.33 cup Panko bread crumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash the jalapeños thoroughly. Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes, being careful to leave the peppers intact for stuffing. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well-incorporated and form a cohesive stuffing mixture.

Step 5

Using a small spoon or your hands, fill each jalapeño half generously with the stuffing mixture. Place the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet with the stuffed side facing up.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the stuffed jalapeños. Sprinkle the panko bread crumbs on top of the stuffing in each jalapeño for added crunch.

Step 7

Bake the jalapeños in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the stuffed jalapeños from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm.
